It is as needful that you recognize you made the world you see
as that you recognize that you did not create yourself.THEY ARE
THE SAME MISTAKE.Nothing created not by your Creator has any
influence over you. And if you think what you have made can tell
you what you see and feel, and place your faith in its ability to do so,
you are denying your Creator, and believing that you made yourself.
For if you think the world you made has power to make you what it
wills, you AREconfusing Son and Father; effect and Source.
The Son’s creations are like his Father’s.Yet in creating them, the
Son does not delude himself that he is independent of his Source.
His union with It is the Source of his creating.APARTfrom this he
has no power to create, and what he makes is meaningless. It changes
nothing in creation, depends entirely upon the madness of its maker,
and cannot serve to justify the madness.Your brother thinks he made
the world with you.Thus he denies creation.With you, he thinks the
world he made made him.Thus he DENIEShe made it.
Yet the truth is you were both created by a loving Father,Who
created you together and as one. See what “proves” otherwise, and
you deny your whole reality. But grant that everything which seems
to stand between you, keeping you from each other and separate
from your Father, you made in secret, and the instant of release has
come to you. All its effects are gone because its source has been
uncovered. It is its seeming independence of its source that kept you
prisoner. This is the same delusion that you are independent of the
Source by which you were created, and have never left.
FAITH, BELIEF AND VISION
All special relationships have sin as their goal. For they are bargains
with reality, toward which the seeming union is adjusted. Forget not
this; to bargain is to set a limit, and any brother with whom you have
a limited relationship YOU HATE.You may attempt to keep the
bargain in the name of “fairness,” sometimes demanding payment of
yourself, perhaps more often of the other.Thus in the “fairness” you
attempt to ease the guilt that comes from the accepted purpose of
the relationship. And that is why the Holy Spirit must change its
purpose to make it useful to HIMand harmless unto YOU.
If you accept this change, you have accepted the idea of making
